Re: Wired Telus Boost
Sure thing! I would like to connect two boost discs to ethernet. Esto started with: "I read other posts here that seem to imply it's possible to have all Boost units wired, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any hints?" The accepted answer from NFtoBC was: "Try accessing the web interface on the Boost units vis their assigned IP address, rather than through the App, and set them up there." I am not able to find any obvious configuration changes to make when I connect to the disc directly. Thanks!9.4KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Arcadyan, IPv4, and general flakiness
Update: things for substantially more did when I stopped rebooting the main Arcadyan router daily. I've only had to reboot it a could times since, when the discs get flaky, but it's rare. I want to blame a slow DHCP address assignment process. But who knows, there's no logs I can access.3.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Arcadyan, IPv4, and general flakiness
Thanks for your reply and ideas! My only hesitation for separating the IOT things is that many need to be on the same local network to connect to each other and to the mobile devices. I know some need it just for setup, but it's hard to know which, and a pain to start over. I've wondered if using the onboard Smart devices separate SSID would help with the load balancing, but my first tested weren't successful - devices went dark. So I'm now considering the separate router for all things wireless, retiring the boosts, and keeping the Arcadyan just for the STBs.4.7KViews0likes0CommentsArcadyan, IPv4, and general flakiness
Hi everyone, Since Christmas (idea: several new devices on wifi?) our network had been behaving oddly. It's an Arcadyan with four boosts. Also of note, the router and discs are all on timers to reboot at 4am - this seemed to help in the early days, years ago. My first connection of the day (iPad) usually can only connect to Google sites. I learned this was because the IPv4 DHCP address wasn't assigned, and only IPv6 traffic was getting through. I can usually nudge this by editing and saving (no changes) any of the DHCP allotted addresses on the router. (Oh yeah - the setting of DHCP addresses to manual has helped a bit, but there's a max of ten.) So now, when the other devices aren't connecting, usually due to no IPv4 address, the DHCP nudge seems to work most of the time, but I can't do it from the app, and without the IPv4 address I can't browse to the router from any mobile device; I have to use a wired connection. So some questions: - anyone else solve their IPv4 inconsistencies somehow? - any ideas on how to simplify the DHCP "nudge"? - it running 60-70 devices too much on this setup? (5 teenage kids, tech geek dad) I hate the idea of splitting my network, but I'm considering moving to a 3rd party prosumer mesh next.Solved4.8KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Telus Boost Network Connection Dropping on iPhone XR and MacBook Pro
So my problem is solved... finally had the T3200M replaced with the Arcadyan, which meshes with the boosts. (Actually replaced it because could not get it to go over 350Mb when I was on 750.) Have not had the dropping issues since. Also seems to better handle the IoT devices that can't jump frequencies. Anyway - not sure if we confirmed this, but are all of you on T3200s?21KViews3likes20Comments
